Seriously you would think that a seminary student would know that strong’s concordance was written in 1890.

Read what i said.
Let me say it again....
I said that the Greek isn't the original.
See, as i told you....
We dont have the original letters written by the Apostles.
If we had them, then we would have the original.
So, when a person says that the "greek texts" are the original, they are lying.
Im not going to lie to you.
I told you that the Greek Texts that you can buy, or research, is not the Original Letters of the Apostles.
They are copies of copies of copies.
There is no "original" greek texts, as there are no original Letters of the Apostles, that remain.

This isn't hard to understand.
But for you, it seems to be impossible to comprehend.

If you want to be "perfect", in love, law, justice, or whatever, then fully realize when the Royal Law or the Higher or Highest Law should be applied maybe over and above and beyond the written down letter of it, if you want to be perfect, etc...

This may not be (or certainly will not be) in the majority of all cases, etc, but it might be (or certainly will be) in and with some of them, or in some cases, (most certainly), etc...

If you want to be absolutely "perfect" absolutely, etc...

God Bless!
We should strive to keep all the laws in Spirit and the letter. The Spirit helps us keep the letter. Jesus provides us with the Holy Spirit to help us obey Him John 14:15-18, Acts 5:32. What is impossible for us, is possible with God. Luke 18:27 When we stumble, repent and pick yourself back up and keep trying. True repentance means turning away from sin. God will help us for those who really want to obey.

When we walk with God and surrender our will for God's will you are going to want to obey Him because of our love. Many people say they love God, but they still want to do their will above God's. God wants us happy and true happiness comes from allowing God to guide our life in all things.

God bless

I tried explaining the Parable/Story of the rich young ruler in another post (post #36) and how Jesus was trying to catch him, or kind of set him up, from the get go, etc, and was why he talked about some of the commandments with him, from the ten commandments specifically with him, etc, instead of just stating (or re-stating) only just the two, etc, but apparently some people didn't hear it, or quite read it, or didn't quite get the memo, etc...?

Anyway,

God Bless!
The rich man parable is about the young ruler who loved Jesus, wanted to follow Him but on his terms and not God's. He placed his wealth (his god) above Jesus. He may have been another disciple had he listened to Jesus when Jesus told Him what he needed to do and to follow Him. Instead He went away sad because he had great riches and that was more important to him.

Our interpretations of the written down letter of it, which are very limited, etc, will sometimes come into conflict with our fully knowing and truly obeying the real true Spirit of them/it, or behind it/them, them/it, etc...

And if you want to "perfect", then you need to fully able to know or discern these times, etc...

And that can only be fully known only from within, and only with a truly true born again heart or conscience only, etc...

God Bless!

Please go back and re-read post #36 please...

It was because he was trying to prove his own righteousness instead of admitting his own unrighteousness, etc...

God Bless!

I don't think so, this is what the scripture says:

Mathew 19: 21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

We all have sinned. True repentance means you are truly sorry for your sins and turn away from it.

God wrote His Ten with His own Finger and and seem easy enough for anyone to understand. Which one do you think has a difficult interpretation?

Exodus 20

3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

13 “You shall not murder.

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

15 “You shall not steal.

16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

I think the scripture spells it out, but yes, we will have to agree to disagree.

And Heaven rejoices very much more when, just one sinner, who knows they are sinner, is called, or is successfully brought to a place of true repentance, than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who are trusting in their own self-righteousness, or who think they are already righteous, but who have never have no need anymore of any kind of true repentance anymore or any longer, etc...

God Bless!

We are told how to know if what is being taught is false according to scripture:

.

If that were your case, you would be talking about the Cross and not talking about rich young rulers.
Why do you think you never talk about the Blood of Jesus, and The Cross?
I know.

And is that an additional commandment for all of us...?

And if so, have you fully done it...?

And then, if not, why not, or why have you not, etc...?

Isnt it wonderful that "Christ is the END OF THE LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS, for EVERYONE = that BELIEVETH".

So, when you see dark lights obsessing about the law and commandments, then you find those who are not connected to the "end of the Law", because they are not .........

See it?

Never.

We are not to worry about what Christ has ended.

Here is why....."""For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.""""

If Christ is the end of the law, than why do you need grace? Or a Savior?

Mathew 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven

Jesus did not die for us to give us a license to sin. Your teaching here is not biblical.

He (or she) who deals out their judgments without mercy, will receive their own judgments back to them without mercy, etc...

For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, etc...
